Thanksgiving

The day after Dave and I got home from Puerto Rico, all four of us left for Thanksgiving with my family in Kansas City.

Nate's first time flying in his own seat.

Wrestle time with the uncles!

My mom helped the kids make Pilgrim hats, and then they did a cute Thanksgiving presentation.

Daddy and Charlie working on Geography. Charlie learned all 50 states and capitals this fall. Geography seemed to be his favorite subject from Classical Conversations. Dave has been so helpful with the start of our homeschooling this fall. I'm grateful he can be a part of it.

We visited an exotic animal ranch.

A trip to a nearby farm. (Note, the boys are wearing shorts in November. This fall was still a little warm for my taste.)

Don't they look like such big kids in this picture?

One very positive result of the NBA lockout was that Dave got to produce some games at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Classic. And because of some air vouchers he got from a flight delay few weeks prior, I got to go with him. It was such a nice getaway. Dave worked most of the trip, but was able to join me for a couple days of relaxing. The bulk of our activity involved moving from the beach to the pool and deciding which restaurants to eat at.

Halloween

I suppose since the Christmas tree is up, it's about time I get around to posting our Halloween pictures.

We all got dressed up this year! Dave was a locked out basketball player, I was Mark Cuban (complete with a "salary cap"), Nate chose Batman and Charlie was Iron Man. Even Bella and Wesley got dressed up.
